You guys know where I can find that plastic dummy attachment with the three arms that goes around the heavy bag?
Thanks in advance,

PS...it's a hundred bucks? I could make it out of PVC for pennies!!!

The lack of ridgidity concerns me, not only from a WC point of view, but from a practcial MA training point of view.
The arms just "dangle there" it seems...

Guys-ok-rub n tug-terminology we can all understand-
Going rate in NY is 60 for the hour plus a 20-40 tip-but that's just for the RnT
this "dangle" and "lack of rigidity"-you really want to pair those phrases with RnT discourse?
I agree with Sanjuro's experience(with the attachmate)-it moved to much,couldn't block and hit effectively,etc-I think the martial arm might work out better for you--
Yes-I think the one Phil shows might be better- also
You can build a dummy for a whole lot less than that P.O.S.
I've trained on the Mook Jong for years and while it is still excellent, I really have to recommend the Martialarm. The fact that it moves in my opinion makes it more effective for most but not all applications. If for example your tan sao is not correct with the back of your hand over the arm, you'll lose it. And if you do the pak sao improperly, your fingers will slip off the arm. However it does have limitations. You can't move around it to practice footwork. You can only advance and retreat, but this is good for entry techniques. Also, you can't practice gan sao (low block) since the arm is set in a high position. Personally I would recommend using it along with a traditional dummy. If you don't want to pay the big bucks, it is easy to make one out of PVC pipes. By using both, you get the best of both worlds. But under no circumstance should you buy the attachment for the heavy bag. For a while, I tried this so I could practice dummy movements at home on my Century Wavemaster. It totally sucked. I had to keep readjusting it and the arms moved around so much, it was just a waste of time. That was when I bought the Martialarm.
I wouldn't attach it to a heavy bag but I might attach it to a thick pole or tree.. Add some rope and a wooden leg and your cheap-o dummy is done and you're ready to save up for a good one while happily training away..

Hi All,
I have posted some very interesting video footage of various Sifus from around China, demonstrating their forms and wooden dummy routines.
The forum is open to comments and discussion. Please feel free to make a constructive comment.
